the impact you're having like the last guest is phenomenal. talk about the work as far as housing is concerned and what kind of impact. >> it's one of the oldest nonprofit affordable housing developers in the bay area. we have developed 7,000 apartment units in the bay area and a little bit in southern california. here in san jose and throughout the bay area, the cost of rent is so high. the average apartment is $2,000 a month. we really try to rent our apartments below that, starting at $500 and rangeing to $1400. we're below market housing. we help families get a stable place to live so they can save for home, school, college.

it's a safe place for families. >> do you place stipulations on them? do they have to reach certain goals? they have to try. in some cases they are trying, three or four jobs. >> at lot of our families work two jobs or sometimes three. we don't require them to achieve a certain success but they do have to have a job and background check. we have rules. safe community. we have about 9,000 on the waiting list right now. >> if it wasn't for agencies like yours, what would happen to those people? >> all over the bay area we have a significant homeless problem. there's a lot of people on the waiting list, if they aren't living in affordable housing they are doubling or tripling up or sadly living on the street or in shelters. >> and the misconception is that

it's middle aged older men who are those that are homeless but it just breaks your heart when i see children inside of a car and that's their living quarters. i mean, the homeless families, you know, we can't forget about them. there's a big number of them out there. >> with the downturn in the economy, there's really a significant number, increasing the number of homeless families. it's been a huge problem in the bay area and throughout california and the country this year. >> you're continuing to build. >> we are continuing to build. the loss of redevelopment agencies is going to have a significant impact on the capacity of all of us in california who build affordable housing and building new housing. >> some municipalities, morgan hill, if a developer goes into a community, a certain percentage has to be affordable housing. some areas do that. >> that's an ordinance called inclusionary housing ordinance, a number have them including san jose passed an ordinance.

east bay has one, san francisco has one, they require a certain percentage of the housing to be affordable. right now that's the only affordable housing we'll be building in redevelopment agencies. we're working in the city of mountain view on a new development where the funding comes from that ordinance to help us pay for that new housing development? >> again, how many on the waiting list? >> 9,000. >> where are they at now? like you said, probably doubling, tripling up? >> your guess is as good as mine. folks need housing in the region. it's expensive to live and jobs are coming back so it's high. >> you raise money on your own, apply for grants. talk about what this fundraising and what these grant awards do for your organization. >> this particular grant is really special to us, because we're a nonprofit, not just a landlord, we go beyond bricks and mortar and really bring programs to our residents. this particular for the nbc bay area is targeted to our seniors

but also a program that helps us work with our youth at the same time. it's called generation exchange. we have since 1995 been running technology programs at all of our properties. in 2005 we started a program with our youth to help them get beyond the digital divide to really learn technology. but last year we started working with our youth and pairing them with our seniors and helping our seniors learn how to use technology. this grant will take us from a pilot project of 50 seniors to hopefully a project where we have 160 seniors participating in learning how to use technology. >> wow. >> think about it, social security is now doing everything online. a lot of your doctors or health insurance like kaiser, everything they do is online. at eden, most of our seniors don't have a computer. they can't afford to have a computer in their home. several of them don't know how to turn on a computer. we have taken the expertise of our youth and we're teaching seniors the basics of turning on

the computer up to how do i join facebook. they learn how to connect with their family and friends. many of our seniors have family all over the country and all over the world. they get to be less isolated and reconnect with their family and friends. it's a great program for us? >> what a great idea. i'm not computer literate. >> we can help you with that. >> my children are on the ipad and they are finding apps i have no idea where they came from, doing phenomenal things on it. where did you learn that? right here. this is what the children in your facilities are doing for seniors, doing the teaching. >> for them it's great. they get to learn how to teach. they get to learn community service. they get to learn about the seniors. they are all making friends with each other which was really an interesting side effect of the experiment, our seniors made friends with our kids. now they want them to come more than just once or twice a week. they want them to come more frequently. it was a great program for us. the kids learn leadership. one of my seniors said the kids

learned patience because a lot of times they had to explain and reexplain how to do things but it's been terrific for us and the seniors. we're very excited. >> that's wonderful. there's a reason it's called eden housing. there's the web address, another recipient of nbc universe 21th century grant solutions. nextel on comunidad del valle. o. so when you call, tweet, and post, we listen. that's why yoplait light and yoplait original are now made with no high fructose corn syrup. and why we use only natural colors and natural flavors in yoplait original. so, anything else we can do for you, let us know. but you'll keep it to yogurt, right? 'cause we shouldn't really help with your love life. yoplait. it is so good!

next door solution toss domestic violence is also another recipient of the nbc universal 21st centuries grant program. with me is patty bennett, program director there with next door. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> you and your colleagues have a tough job. you're dealing with vehicles who have lived through some very ugly trauma. tell us about the work do you.

>> we've been in existence since 1971. the founder, her name is bea robinson. she was the first latina to start an agency. the agency was for the community needs. she was trying to get her friends into self-sufficiency and she found domestic violence seemed to be coming up. she decided to take a turn on work on getting her friends safe. she started out of her garage with a hot line. just this year we feel 1800 hot line calls, just to show you how far we've grown. we're now not just a shelter or hot line, we have five separate programs that provide services throughout the community. >> those are 1800 calls, i would imagine many more do not get made? >> absolutely. those are the crisis calls that come in through our hot line. we also have programs where we

can provide services through our walk-in program. someone doesn't necessarily have to make a call. they can come in and see and have a kit. we also have people off site with two police departments, one san jose, one los gatos. we can provide services. >> i would imagine it takes a lot of courage for some of these vehicles to come forward and say i'm a victim. >> yes, it does. first they can be at risk when they do come forward. we do what's called a safety plan to make sure that we walk with them to identify their needs in a safe way. we do know statistically that once someone speaks out and they separate from their batterer, that's when they are at most risk for danger and suicide and homicide. so we walk with them to do safety planning to make sure we

consider all the lethality in their case. >> the d.a. in the county just came out with their death statistic. we had nine deaths. >> this year we had nine. in the years past it's gone up. it has gone lower this year. we don't want to be complacent. it's not saying domestic violence has slowed down or lessened. we need to have our pulse on what's going on in the community and still provide services. >> your nonprofit. what do these grants do for the stability of your organization and the ability to keep healthy. >> they keep our agency running. we're totally a nonprofit. the grant from nbc is actually going to go to our power program, which is a very exciting program. it's very new. we're working with youth who are out working with other youth to make gender norm changes on how kids see each other, how boys

and girls look at each other and how they set the tone for the expectations of how they are supposed to be, which contribute to gender-based violence. as they get into teens and grow into adults. the program has been in existence for less than three years. it's just very exciting to see kids and youth working with each other to make gender changes, social norm changes in terms of how we look at each other. next door does a lot of crisis intervention as well as long-term. our kids are the future. if we can change the norm of how we see each other when we're children, we're less likely to hurt each other as adults. >> there's legislation, i understand, under way that would take the gun away from a household where there is somebody -- >> yes, there is. actually it was passed. it allows police officers and

the d.a.'s office to go in and take guns from someone who has a restraining order, even though when you get a restraining order you're not allowed to have a gun. what happens is it's kind of the honor system where the judge says please turn in all your guns and you turn in all of them. this legislation allows people to go in, police officers to go in with a warrant to say we have information you may have a gun you haven't turned in and allows them to go in and get that gun. >> how violation is it? >> it's very important. we had a casas year in los gatos where the victim had left her perpetrator. her son was actually in college. he had threatened in the past if she were to leave, he was going to kill both her and her son. he actually was able to follow through with killing his son and there was an existing restraining order. so the fact that you can go in

even with victims -- all the victims have to say is, hey, police department. i know he has a gun he didn't turn in and they will go in and get that gun. >> next door solutions to domestic violence helping those who need help in the area. there's more information, also another recipient of nbc universal 21th century solutions grant. thank you so much for the good work you're doing. >> thank you. >> now here is what's happening in your comunidad.

>> our absolute to those celebrating a special day. >> here is our e-mail for next week. follow me on twitter. my news handle, news damian. pick up our newspaper and support bilingual week lis across the bay area. we thank you for sharing a part of your sunday with us. congratulations to all the winners of nbc universal solution grants program. we'll see you next week.
